My new "Flower Power" van

This cool van will be moving all my flowers to the market. In the next week or so I'll have my logo put on. Love driving it around!

Starting on a new adventure!

This week coming up is going to be interesting to say the least ...I am starting a little flower shop in The Market at the Fareway this week. Selling my flowers and flower related items. I am so excited! And nervous all at the same time!

Advanced Pick-Up Sticks

So many sticks on the farm... What to do? Build a fence. This old style fencing is a simple way to create a natural looking landscape for your garden. This fence is easy and at the same time creates a home for small creatures. Next task, plant nasturtiums at the base so the plant climbs all over it. Should look really nice.

Almost my little babies almost!

My little seedlings are just sitting in the greenhouse waiting in anticipation for the day to feel that sun on their leaves! Or it could just be me?

Getting ready for The Market at the Fareway

Collecting all sorts of odds and ends for my flower shop at The Market at the Fareway in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. This is such an exciting time! Planting,collecting stuff,creating ribbons to sell growing grasses,spinning wool...geez why am I not tired! Cause I love it!

Springtime Bouquet

Just put this together today.  I have been forcing some different kinds of pussy willow that I purchased from the Philadelphia Flower Show.  I put them all in this huge pot that I got for free! Added some branches of forsythia and a little japonica.

Buddhist Chickens!

Every year I buy prayer flags for my chicken run.  This is beautiful and yet functional.  It keeps other birds from sitting on top of their run.  I painted my chickens playhouse a lovely saffron orange.

Mushroom Soil in it's place and doing it's work!

All ready for the season!

AWWW! The smell of mushroom soil in spring!!!

Well, It's finally springtime and my mushroom soil delivery came and dumped two yards on my driveway.  Now to move all of it to the kitchen garden to amend the beds so that I can start planting in it as soon as possible!  Can't wait! This weekend the Cross Country Nursery opens up for the season. They are located in Rosemont, New Jersey, They specialize in Chile peppers but they have a great variety of basil and tomatoes.. I'll be blogging about this with pictures this weekend. Check them out on  the web.
